$9,100 Per Month Rent in New Upscale Apartment Tower
by Realty News Report
January 19, 2026
HOUSTON – (Realty News Report) – With what may be Houston’s highest residential rents ever, a new apartment tower called The Langley, is nearing completion near the Museum District on a controversial site of a proposed project that was attacked as the “Ashby High-Rise.”
Rising 20 stories over an old oak-studded neighborhood, The Langley, located at 1717 Bissonnet, will have 134 apartment homes. The initial residents are expected to arrive next month.
Average Monthly Rent: $13,000
Leasing has started. And the rental rates may be the highest rents in the history of Houston multifamily.
Monthly rents start at $9,100 at The Langley.
By comparison, the average monthly rent for all Houston-area apartments is $1,272, according to a rent Colliers multifamily study.
The Langley’s developer, StreetLights Residential, has not released the rental rates for the building’s finest apartments. But for the penthouses near the top of The Langley, rents may be close to $20,000 per month.
A large unit on the 18th floor of the tower is offered for $19,035 per month, according to a listing on the HAR.com website operated by Houston Association of Realtors. The 3,396-SF unit has three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and a 23’ by 14’ outdoor terrace with a grill.
“Tailored for refined living, each residence features wide plank wood floors, bespoke island kitchen with Wolf gas cooking, wine fridge, service kitchen with secondary refrigerator and dishwasher and separate icemaker,” says the HAR listing for the unit.
Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty has the exclusive listing on The Langley, which is just north of Rice University, near the upscale Boulevard Oaks and Southampton neighborhoods.
The Langley has only eight units per floor. It’s two- and three-bedroom homes range from 2,165 to 3,401 SF.
“The Langley was conceived to deliver something Houston hasn’t seen before—a boutique high-rise that lives like a private estate,” said M. Stephen Meek, Senior Vice President of Development at StreetLights Residential. “From the limited number of residences per floor to the detail, comfort, and craftsmanship often found in custom homes, every decision was intentional.”
